Article Via BBC x Parts of the video are based in India during the Holi Festival when people throw brightly coloured powder at each other. It shows Chris Martin travelling past ancient sites and through crowded streets in a tuk tuk. But, the filming of Hymn for the Weekend is causing some people to say Coldplay is using India as a backdrop for the wrong reasons. And, what's causing most of a stir is Beyonce in traditional Indian dress. Critics say it's "appropriation" or misusing bits of Indian culture, others have an issue with Beyonce dressing up. "Beyonce's cultural appropriation is tasteless" says one. But others point out similar Coldplay videos, including Princess of China, which featured Rihanna wearing traditional Chinese dress. Some say this is all nonsense and that it's well known that Coldplay have spent time in India and immersed themselves in the culture. One tweet suggests: "If dressing Indian makes her [beyonce] guilty, what about Indians who dress western?" It's raised questions about whether Beyonce, as a black American woman, should be dressing up as a Bollywood star. Others argue that the video shows Coldplay's cultural appreciation of India, not appropriation.

Do those posts still appear now?

Very good video. Doesn't change the song for me but great production!

Hacked? Don't you mean spam? Sometimes there might be spam you'll discover that we've missed. Just let us know and we'll get rid of :)

Is everything ok now? I'm gonna release an upgrade for the app soon. Btw, if you ever have any problems, it's easy to use the forums on a mobile browser now (since the forums were transferred to Xenforo). I'm gonna access whether the app is needed in the future but won't decide until after mid Feb, so it's there for now :)

"Career spanning set" - I wonder if it will be a decent length set! Have you sold them? (Can't make it but interested to know :P)

*Insert that Steve Carell GIF here* +1 Needs to take Chris to a Southampton game (Preferably at Old Trafford on Saturday, when they get whopped :) )

This will be the best one and that's not being biased :P Chris is a funny dude and much of world does not know that (yet) ;) The carpool feature is getting a lot of exposure lately. I even watched the Justin Bieber one the other week and I actually liked it :/

Nope, never happened for me lol Despite having a population of over 1 million, pretty much hardly anyone I've known in Birmingham likes Coldplay!

He lives in New York I think.

Very nice! Would of been awesome to have that back in the day on MW2, when 70% of kills were by knife :D

Perfect opportunity. I'll post this thread on FB+Twitter to get more exposure. First come, first serve I guess.

Trying to sum up their career in 12 minutes, sounds very exciting! Shame that Lets get drunk and high is set to be part of that ;)

Awesome, thanks :) Same here. When I heard it live for the first time in 2011, I was really surprised at how energetic it was and that never really transpired onto streams of concerts.

I still don't really wanna watch it again. It's fun but doesn't add anything to the music in the way the Birds video does imo.

Shame there's lots of birds on it! (And a cat) I really like it. It's a bit like the end of Violet Hill :P Really surprised to see a video too :) Pictures involving this video were shown before the album release I think, so it seems like the video was always planned. Happens to be a fan favourite of the album too, so everyone's a winner!

You look like Jonny Christmas IRL then?

Happy New Year everyone :D Bring on the AHFOD tour ;)

Thank you everyone :) Of course, i'll still pop by :P

Hey everyone :) There will be a change of site ownership in July. As you may of noticed already, Stephen (Stephend2000) is an Admin. He'll be getting used to the admin side of things until he takes over as the new site owner in July. I know that Coldplaying will be in safe hands with him and he's done a fantastic job with the new forums, after the old ones were having database problems. I'll be around until July. I'm giving the site away because it's extremely life consuming to run (Just invented a word I think but that's the most accurate!). It's been a fun 2 years but I've done what I can and the site's still running, so i'm happy with that :) I'm going to the Rio concert in Brazil anyway and i'll be at many of the UK/European tour gigs so exciting times coming up still ;)

There was an evident drop off from VLVODAAHF, which was more popular in America. Of course, sales declined majorly from 2008-2009 too (with the exception of Adele).

Chris' 'spider-web' effect of glancing at many individual fans (as he mentioned during Live 2012) is fantastic!

Congratz on the trophies all! ^.^

Thanks everyone :D
